WoRD oF tHe WeeK!

Seems that you like it so lets stick with it until I get bored again. This week my rants are more like PSAs I guess. I really dont understand why people cant mind their own business. People get involved and riled up about things that have NOTHING at all to do with them. Are folks hanging out at home waiting for the next big nothing to get twisted about? How do people have time for that?

AILUROPHILE a
lover of cats; cat fancier.
Having 40 cats in a trailer doesnt make you an ailurophile; it makes you a crazy person.

And Velvet Grammar is kinda rant-ish, too. Sorry! Theres some strong words in there so be careful.

READY?

RANT FAC E
YOURE NOT A REAL FAN, GAMER, LOVER, etc For all those smug, condescending, snotty freaks out there who base the realness of someone elses fan, gamer or lover status based on what YOU think a fan or gamer or lover should be SHUT YOUR HOLE AND KEEP IT SHUT. So I dont get to play video games for days on end and I dont have the latest system and all the games. Does that make me an inferior gamer? NO! It means I also have a life. Unlike you who has probably been sitting in your own stink for a week I get up and go to WORK. You say I cant be a Star Wars fan if I sold my toys? Let me go with NO yet again. I got different toys, but I still love Luke, Chewie and Lando. And sorry, but Im going to hit music. It drives me nuts when people tell me I cant love music if I dont like this band or that composer or this song. Or that I dont know what Im talking about because Im not a musician. Music is for the individual and I absolutely know what my ears hear and what reaches into my heart and what moves my body. If its not what you know and like I DONT CARE. Your music is for you and my music is for me. So stop trying to tell people how to be fans, gamers and lovers of things. YOU have no idea and you should just be very, very quiet. Act like youre hunting wabbits because you look as foolish as Elmer Fudd, yet lack the humor. Bad combo. Makes me want to stomp on your fingers.

Christmas time is here! It isnt, but retailers have been shoving it up our cracks since March it seems. Aside from that, I think atheists and Christians need to just quit. Leave each other ALONE. How hard is that? Atheists are trying to stop Christmas related events at schools and public places and Christians are trying to force more of it. Let people do what they want! Its not your business and its not up to you. Why are you so disgustingly arrogant? If youre an atheist, then just dont participate. Its that easy. If youre Christian enjoy your holiday with your peeps and let it be. Both groups are being extremely hypocritical, childish and ugly. Way to go. If you bring that garbage to me I will nastily close you down. The Blonde does what the Blonde wants to do. NEXT! 2

VELVET GRAMMAR
Why this name? Listen to me. If you get your grammar down, youll sound as smooth as velvet pants on Billy Dee Williams butt! Well hes Lando to me, but whatever makes you happy.

Maybe this isnt really about grammar, but anyway Im SICK of hearing/seeing the following words/phrases : Exponential When I hear some stuffed shirt say the company experienced exponential growth, I want to kick them in the shin. Blah, blah, blah. Its not a buzz phrase anymore. Ratchet Im sorry. I cant take anymore ratchet, ratchedness or ratchet ass. I now consider it ratchet when you use the word ratchet. Nigga(er) Really? Should I even have to post this? Its a vile, demeaning word. Yes, its just a word, but so is c*nt. People get crazy warped when that word is used, but nigga(er) is okay? Calling your buddy ya nigga is triflin and sad, but whatever. Keep perpetuating negativity. Live.Laugh.Love - This mantra has made its rounds. Over and over and over and over and over and over. Oh yeah, and over. I do live, laugh and love. I dont need a wood plaque to tell me to do so.

Questions, Comments and Nonsense

I got the following question from another Carolyn who wrote My husband wants to skydive but I dont. The idea terrifies me. He said he would go with his friends, but I told him no way. We have kids. He could get killed. We keep arguing about it and hes getting madder every time. How do I make him understand that its for our family that I dont want him to do this? I read that a couple of times to make sure I read it correctly. I have to be honest, here, and say that you sound a bit controlling. You wont LET him? Hes a grown man, correct? Its not like hes asking to do heroin. Just because YOU dont want to and are afraid doesnt mean HE shouldnt. Using the he could die thing isnt really fair. He could die driving to work tomorrow. He obviously accepts the risk. Youre not doing this for the family, its for YOU. YOU dont want him to do it whatever your reasons. You want control of him and his decisions. Unless youve left out vital info (hes not paying bills to afford it, hes a drunk, he has health issues, etc.) I cant find any reason to help you make him understand. What if he tried to forbid you from doing something you wanted to do? I dont think it would go over well, would it? Good luck.

My comment this week is about physical fitness (because Kristin asked) I used to be so misinformed about physical fitness. I thought people only did it for vanity. DUH Blondie! To me, the most important thing about physical fitness is honesty. BE HONEST with where you are and where you NEED (not want) to be. Ive had clients come in and tell me about the intense workouts they do and when the evaluation starts I find them woefully out of shape. Some are thin, some are fat, but they are OUT OF SHAPE. They think being thin equates to being healthy. Dont lie to yourself like that. Extreme training is a mistake for beginners. The risk of harm to your body is too great. Be honest enough to know youre not ready for that. Be honest enough to know that you have to start small and work your way up. And do you WANT to lose 30 lbs or do you NEED it? The more honest you are about your current state of fitness, the better your chances for success. Find a fitness program that works for YOU, not for your buddy or that model you saw. FOR YOU. Honesty begins with YOU.

NONSENSE
Im a BLONDE and this week I took many opportunities to live up to the stereotype. I put some yummy cheese in my utility drawer, tried to brush my teeth with lip balm, put my keys in the freezer, posted to the wrong discussion board for school, and forgot where my Physics lab (that Ive been going to for twelve weeks) was located. In my defense, the Lab is in a different place than lecture and recitation. Yeah, thats weak. Ah well! The Blonde abides.

The truth is There are a lot of things I really dont care about. To the point that I angrily DGAF. Im sure that people mistake me for being callous or cold, but the fact is that I dont have time to worry about things I truly cant change. I focus on what I can do to make MY life better and by doing so having the ability to help someone else. If thats callous, then sign me up. And on that note... CIAO! Time to bake something.
